  1. I've never played at a high level, but my step brother was the best in the area and a youth player for Hartlepool, though didn't make the cut/got bored of playing and didn't play again for years after. However, no word of a lie, he used to play upfront with none other than Arma (for a team called Newcastle City Juniors) for a few years. You could already see then he was something special as he was playing in the first team of the best club in the area despite being a year younger than everyone else (this was when they were about 9 or 10). Proper weird seeing someone you used to watch on a cold Sunday turn out for Rovers now (quite aware this sounds like total bs, but it's absolutely true haha)

  2. Anyone heard The Weeknd's second mixtape?

    Wow.

    Yeah I loved the first mixtape, especially High For This and Wicked Games, still yet to appreciate the second in depth.

    I've been listening to a lot of stuff on Warp Records recently Flying Lotus, Aphex Twin and more recently Rustie but at the moment I'd have to say I'm really enjoying Battles and Maximo Park on that label, especially the former even though the latter are a local band for me, Kuedo, Burial and Netsky are also pretty high on the playlist at the moment, also.

    Been exploring a lot of Jesus & Mary Chain and My Bloody Valentine as well, having been too young to experience these bands at the time, but going to see what you could say is their modern counterpart in The Horrors, on tuesday. Have to say, Skying is probably my album of the year so far, so many tunes. That or Wild Beasts 'Smother' or the Neon Indian one, I can't recommend those enough, really nice textures and well written. The Metronomy and Anna Calvi albums aren't far behind either, but I can't really fathom the acclaim given to PJ Harvey's new album, it's a nice concept, but it just sounds dull and uninspired.

    What does everyone make of the Radiohead album?

  3. seems to be a lot of festival fans on here, was wondering is anyone has ever made it out to rock werchter in Belgium? My best friend was born there and goes back every summer and always come back with crazy stories from this place.

    I havn't been and don't intend to this year (although I did consider it) but you're right about the festival fans thing, anyone else think that euro-festivals (save Glasto) are far better than our domestic ones? I went to Open'er fest in Poland last year and was just about the best thing i've ever done, i'm headed to Poland again this year but to Krakow to go to Coke Live fest where Muse and Chemical Brothers are playing, can't wait as these are the only two I really want to see and the only place to see them both, you off to Rock Werchter then American?

  4. You have to admit though some of the songs are essentially made by the rawness of liam's voice and his swagger, 'Supersonic' and 'Morning Glory' for example.

    I think keeping an eye out for the Big Pink might be a good idea even if they did slag off the Beatles recently
